Why I Choose a Jogging Stroller

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

I was running on the treadmill at my local gym when a new mother hopped onto the treadmill next to me. Much to my surprise she was holding her baby. I asked her why she was carrying that new baby on a treadmill. She said she couldn’t bear to part with her little one, yet still wanted to get a workout in. After about ten minutes she was extremely tired and her baby was crying. Now what? Well within a few days I saw her again. This time she wasn’t at the gym. She was running outside the gym. She was jogging behind her nice, new jogging stroller. Mom was happier and her baby was happy too.

I have had several moms e-mail and ask “Is a jogging stroller right for me?” Well there are a few factors to consider.

First, if you prefer to run on the treadmill at the gym then you probably won’t need a jogging stroller. However, if you are like me and enjoy running outside and spending time with your baby then a jogging stroller is the best way to go.

When you choose to buy a jogging stroller don’t forget important safety features like a hand brake and wheel locks for easy stopping, safety belts and the five point harness. Your child’s safety should always come first. The five point harness is great for toddlers and small children.

Also consider your child’s comfort. You may want to look into a reclining seat and a canopy. It is also a good idea to wait until your child is holding his or her head up and sitting independently before using the jogging stroller. However, there are safety products you can buy if you would like to use your jogging stroller sooner.

When we’re running in cool or cold weather, we may be hot or comfortable in minimal clothing, but a child is not doing the exercise. Don’t forget to dress your little one in warm clothes, especially if you’re running or walking in the wind. Short runs are best with your child. Competing while pushing your running stroller is not recommended.

I prefer a jogging stroller versus a regular stroller because I enjoy being outside. I have found that my jogging stroller makes it a lot easier to push on non-paved roads and it moves at a faster pace

Springer Spaniel - Beloved Friends and Companions

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

English Springer Spaniel is  extremely smart and learn very quickly. The Springer is the right choice for either a city or country home because they are so eager to please, loyal and like people. They are energetic and playful animals, and many owners find humor in their play. With proper training the can excel in agility, tracking, retrieving, obedience, hunting, and field trials. They are the perfect choice for families because they are so wonderful with children. Children should be supervised with all breeds of dogs.

Springers are quite friendly, and eager to please their owners. There are people who use the sweet temperament of a Golden Retriever to describe the Springer’s personality. They are happy to just be with their family even if that means just lying around the house. As long as they are allowed to people with people, they are flexible and acclimate easily to different activity levels. Springer Spaniels are incredibly affectionate! We know this from experience. As breeders, we have raised a lot of puppies and can absolutely testify to this fact.

Normally weighing between 35-55 pounds at adulthood this is the English Springer Spaniel breed which is medium in size. They are generally very strong dogs that live anywhere between ten and fourteen years. Field bred Spingers have short hair and are generally more active than the show bred types. Both field bred and show bred Springer Spaniels have docked tails. The difference is, the field bred dogs tail is docked longer. The reason for this is that the tail is an important hunting tool It acts as an alert signal for the hunter.

English Springer Spaniels generally have two different variations of colored fur which are either black and white or liver and white. The tri-color coloration of black, liver, and white, is quite rare and will usually occur when the sire and dam are both tri-color. They are also known for having a white blaze on their faces usually down the middle.

English Springer Spaniels were bred to be natural hunters with a lot of energy, so you can expect your Springer to enjoy running around, sniffing out “game,”and retrieving things for you. Springers love the water and would enjoy spending the entire day outside with their owners as they are not especially affected by weather. Because they are an old breed, they have been a favorite canine for many years. They are one of the oldest and best established hunting and gun dog breed.

Hopefully, you can understand the reasons that we believe Springers are a good option for a variety of lifestyles. We have seen how easily these adoring animals are accepted as a part of any family.

Lowering The Risks of Ovarian Cancer and Cancers in General

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Women concerned about ovarian cancer because of family history, or because of their own medical condition maybe relieved to learn that there are factors that may lower the risk for ovarian cancer. Here are some of those factors:

Use of oral contraception (birth control pills) for 3 years or more may reduce your risk for ovarian cancer by 30% - 50%.

Women who have had tubal ligation may substantially reduce their risk for ovarian cancer.

Women who have had a hysterectomy have a reduced risk for ovarian cancer.

Prophylactic oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries) has been used by women at high risk for ovarian cancer as a means of reducing that risk by 95%.

Another way to reduce your risk for ovarian cancer or any cancer is to live as healthy a lifestyle as you possibly can.

Additionally here are things that anyone can do that will help lower the risk of having any cancer, in general.

Reduce your stress level, exercise moderately and eat a healthy diet.

Consume smaller meals more frequently - such as six smaller meals instead of trying to consume 3 larger meals.

If you are already fighting a cancer in your body…

Eat protein-rich foods that help build and repair body tissue. Protein-rich foods include: cottage cheese, eggs, fish, peanut butter, poultry and yogurt.

To encourage people to eat when they do not feel like eating, make the atmosphere pleasant with music, flowers or eye-appealing dishware. Use jam, honey or butter on bread and nuts when to add calories and nutrition to otherwise bland dishes.

Moderate exercise keeps your muscles from deteriorating and helps to your body to eliminate cancer causing toxins. Starting walking more, join a gym or take up a sport.

Medical disclaimer: People should always consult their doctors before taking any medical advice.

This program proofed to be a really powerful tool, and so it was enhanced by naturfotokalender.de in order to be able to create the whole year at once. There is a good set of instructions called Kalender selber machen.

The calender plugin lets you choose a directory with pictures for every month, then creates a gimp pic with all the months as layers. The next step is to indicate where you want your calender to be rendered and then you start the plugin again. You have to state the year for which the calender is created and off you go!

After the plugin is done you have 12 pictures each embedded with a calender for the corresponding month.

If you need a little incitation for you own calender, you can have a look around on the site, the site itself features a lot more, there is a fine collection of calenders with nature photography (for example the well known Geo Kalender Namibia), so the site is worth a visit no matter if you want to create your own calender or not.

Questech Sandgate and Dorset Collection

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Leading backsplash tile supplier My Tile Backsplash is pleased to announce the addition of both the Sandgate and Dorset Collection from Questech to there vast selection of backsplash material.

The Sandgate and Dorset Collection offers an array of decorative accents in both a natural stone and a metal look. Each Series has three different categories within each of the Sandgate and Dorset lines.

Questech Metals - Questech invented a breakthrough technology, a process for casting beautiful metal objects at a fraction of the weight and cost of solid metals. This discovery led to the launch of the industry’s first mass produced metal tiles, creating an important new category in the tile and home improvement markets. The difference between the two series of Sandgate and Dorset Collections is the style offerings between them. The colors that are offered are the same, just different designs between the two series.

Questech Cast Stone - Questech broke the mold again, with their revolutionary product of the cast stone series. These decorative pieces have a resemblance of natural stone with the look of travertine and marble. The product offering in this category is phenomenal. The selection includes everything from a 2″ x 2″ to a large 16″ x 24″ mural. Again, the color offering between the Sandgate and the Dorset collection are the same, just the different designs associated with each series.

Questech Natural Stone - This includes a factory-sealed tumbled marble collection offered in both Castle Wheat and Casa Emperador. Tumbled marble tiles have better wear properties, warmer feels, softer appearance and a matte finish. Tumbled Marble with Q-Seal provides a built-in anti-bacterial protection. Ultra-Fresh inhibits the growth of stain and odor causing mold and mildew. It is factory applied and will not lose its effectiveness over time. The added anti-bacterial protection makes the tiles ideal for showers, tub surrounds and kitchen backsplashes. They will never be the worry of having to reseal the tiles or worry about special stone cleaners.

As with all the products from Questech, each and every one of the products is sealed with their Q-Seal. The fear of sealing or water-damaged products does not exist with the Questech product line.

 

Ancient Britain

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Go to Maiden Castle in Dorset which is still a fine example and you will see evidence of iron age Britain with remnants on display from this area dating back 2,000 years.

 

At around 150 BC trade had started between Britain and the continent. The trading used to be for raw materials like tin, finished goods like silver and gold, wine, pottery and coins and even slaves.

 

Julius Caesar came to Britain in 55 BC, but only succeeded in establishing a temporary bridgehead. After another abortive attempt the following year, the Romans left Britain well alone for a century until the Romans came back in full force in 43 AD.

 

There were over 20 different separate Kingdoms in total in Britain at that time and with no coalition treaty possible with each other, it made it very easy for the Romans to invade Britain and attack the feudal Kingdoms one at a time and wipe them out.

 

Within a year the Romans had conquered large parts of Britain and by 60 AD controlled most of Britain south of the River Humber.

 

A revolt by the Iceni tribe in present day Anglia led by their Queen Boudica was later crushed by the superior military knowledge and capability of the Romans.

 

After that they built a network of roads and pushed North into Scotland and failed to pin down and harm the Celts, so they built a massive Wall called Hadrian’s Wall in 122 AD from Newcastle to Carlisle which you can still visit today.

 

The other wall that they built, the Antonine Wall, was not a proper wall but just a wall of turf, in the Lowlands (Glasgow to Edinburgh). It was started in 142 AD and then abandoned in 163 AD.

Your Bicycle Questions Answered!

Monday, July 27th, 2009

The bicycle is the most efficient way of transportation ever invented. It transforms your energy into movement. But how does it work?

Bicycles are simple and elegant machines that help people get from place to place. It is a lot easier to understand than a motorbike or a car. All the parts of a bicycle are visible, so we can actually see the working parts interacting before our eyes.

Bicycles essentially work on a combination of gears, wheels and people power. Two pedals are connected to one gear, usually at the bottom center of the bicycle. When you push the pedals of your bike around once, the pedal sprocket-the wheel with teeth to which the pedals are attached-goes around once, too. But it pulls a chain along, one that is connected to a much smaller sprocket (with fewer teeth to grip each link of the chain) in the center of your bike’s rear wheel. This smaller sprocket moves around a number of times for each single turn of your pedals, moving your bike wheels a lot faster than you’re moving your feet!

Some bicycles have several “speeds,” which means that they have a number of gears (called derailleurs) that vary the rate at which their wheels turn. These extra sprockets are located at the pedals and rear wheel of a bike, where levers move the driving chain sideways, from one to another. A special spring system keeps the chain tight when it changes from a larger to a smaller sprocket. Although you might think that a rider would always want the wheels of his or her bike to move as fast as possible for each pedal turn, that is not always the case. When going uphill, for instance, a rider can get more force out of a wheel that turns fewer times, making the task easier.

In order to turn right or left, all you have to do is turn the handlebar to the desired side, isn’t it? Wrong! Cyclists turn using their body weight, the handlebar is just for counterbalancing. In fact, in order to run left, you turn a little to the right at first, which will push your weight to the left. This is called countersteering and takes places instinctively. Do it on purpose, and you will fall!

The bicycle has been around as a means of transportation since the 19th century. There are probably over 1 billion worldwide, and they remain a popular way to get around and a great form of exercise.
